Tuesday 27th November

Raydar's shape is now changing, he is developing muscles. He is starting to look very nice now. He will continue to improve with the more work he does. Lunging him is helping to develop his muscles.
This last week Natalie has been lunging him for 5Min's on both sides then getting on his back and walking and trotting around the sand school, Raydar has been coping very well doing this. On Saturday when I was through seeing him I got to have a sit on his back, I only went a walk round the sand school though.
Raydar is coming home this weekend for a 2week holiday, I cant wait!!

Tuesday 20th November

Well guy's i don't really have much to say this week as not much has happened. I got Raydar a new rug this week it is a 6ft, full neck, purple and blue tartan one, he hasn't had it on yet though. He also got the hood for his other rug back on Sunday he will be warmer at night time now.
Natalie was lunging Raydar with someone lying over his back at the start of last week he was a bit nervous but coped with it well. Towards the end of the week she managed to sit up straight on his back and is now walking around the school on him. She hopes to have him trotting round the school with her on his back by the end of this week.
Raydar is coming home on the 2ND of December for a two weeks holiday then he will go back to Lyth to start working on his canter.

Tuesday 13TH November

This last week Raydar has been getting on very well . Natalie has started lunging him , the first two times she tried he was very scared and pulled her into the corner of the sand school . Now he knows that he is to go round in circles , he also knows the difference between walk and trot . I got to have a shot at lunging him on Sunday I thought it went rather well .

Raydar has settled in completely at Natalie's now , he gets to graze with the other horses , as they have accepted him into there heard . There is one horse that Raydar gets on with really well his name is Squire he is the alfa male at the stables . He also gets stabled in the day time when the other horses are working , he just stands at the door and watches them working as the sand school in right in front of the stables .

This week Raydar also managed to rip the hood of his rug so I had to take it off him to get it repaired so he will be feeling it a bit cold , I should get it back in time to take it back through to him on Sunday though .

Tuesday 6TH November

This last week Raydar had off , by this I mean he didn't do any work he just rested in his field . On Sunday I put him away to Lyth riding school , as this is where he is getting broken to ride . I got up at 7am on Sunday morning to get his things ready such as tack , feed and his rugs . I went up to Armadale where his field is about 8am to load him in to his trailer, that was only the 2nd time in his life he had been in a trailer and he went in it no bother . When we got to Lyth I unloaded him , put his rug on then put him out to the park with his breakfast . When he was eating his food I put his tack and things away in the tack room then watched the first lesson .

Raydar must have known I was still there as when he finished eating his food he jumped over the fence and cantered down to the sand school . We decided to put him in one of the stables for a few hours until he got familiar with his new surrounding's . Not long after this I went home , the lady that is breaking him in text me later on that night to say he had settled in well , I'm going to see him on Sunday so I will have more to tell next week.
